In an era where many practitioners of today’s digital imaging technologies have never experienced microfilm, it may seem archaic to discuss bringing microform images back to life. The fact is that there are billions of images stored on microform
Microfilm is relied upon by countless institutions to preserve some of the world’s most valuable information and records. When well-preserved, microfilm is estimated to last up to 500 years and only needs a light source to be read – making it nearly future-proof. The Crowley Company offers solutions for every step of the lifecycle of microfilm, from converting collections to microfilm, processing and duplication to scanning and hosting of digital microfilm images.
The job is not finished when a piece of microfilm creation equipment and capture hardware is sold or leased. As part of Crowley’s ongoing customer service, we are dedicated to providing our clients with the parts and supplies required to keep scanners and processing hardware running at peak performance.
